Hmmmmm. This message conflicts somewhat with Blue's reunion with Fuchsia. But I suspect it's going to take a while to see which wins out.

I don't like the... almost blank expression on Blue's face after watching Pxsomethingsomething's suicide attempt. You'd hope to see some sort of reaction to all the stuff she's seen and been through, and what she tried to do about it, but... no.

Meanwhile, Fuchsia leaving, and creating that painting, gives the lie to the "There is no going back" line for Blue.

In light of their new piece-of-shit oversized avatar (which I have blocked for being blurry and oversized), I'm going to suppose that KillAllMen is attempting to be amusing, rather than attempting to troll.

I continue to think that Fuchsia's painting is very condescending toward Blue. Blue was much happier as a Booth Babe and Hell Stabber than she was as a waitress. If Fuchsia thinks being a mortal (or at least a non-Devil; if Blue went to school with Jesus, I'm not sure she started out as a regulation mortal) is so great, why doesn't she hang around with some of them (other than Crim) for a while? Why isn't she making a serious effort to become one?

Well, whatever.

Which reminds me of a bizarre moment in which Jesus apparently attempted to re-mortalize Fuchsia and failed:

The footbinding and witch-burning is horribly out of place. I think if you polled the average American you'd find that only crazy people and a very small percentage of foreign immigrants actually support shit like FGM and foot-binding. Even retrofucks who think women belong in the kitchen stop short of that bullshit. Also witch burnings were not an exclusively anti-woman practice and persecution for witchcraft, which is still fairly common in some parts of Africa, is still hardly women-exclusive. That we only associate witch-burnings with the murder of women is sexism but not the kind Tats wants you to think about.

It's also a callback to a comic where Clio inserted those images, sans-context of any kind, into the heads of a production line of fembots causing them to go berserk on the factory employees and have to be shut down. How does using out-of-contex information to transform fembots into clearly-disposable soldiers in her struggle make Clio "good" under any definition of the term? That act reeked far more of "terrorist" than it did "freedom fighter."

If The Sisterhood was super-serious about defeating Big-D the answer has been in pop-culture folklore for over a generation. Beat that fucker in a fiddlin' contest. There's probably a feminist dwarf over at The Sisterhood whose special mary-sue power is fiddlin'.
